I run a weather blog and we use emails sent by the National Weather Service to post severe weather alerts. As such, time is of the essence and I really need to be checking once a minute instead of once every 5 minutes. I was using the functionality built into WordPress, but it is being deprecated. I'd like to use Postie, but I cannot if I'm limited to 5 minute checks.

So...I know that you can do checks manually in Postie. Is there a certain address I could use to trigger a manual check? If so, I can use wget in a cron job to check the address each minute (this was the way I did it on the old system).

If not, would it be possible to produce an update which allow faster checking?
